"According to scientists who conduct so-called "life cycle analysis" for solar, the transport of waste is not currently being factored into the carbon footprint score, which measures the amount of greenhouse gases produced when making a product. Life cycle analysts add up all the global warming pollution that goes into making a certain product — from the mining needed for components to the exhaust from diesel trucks used to transport waste and materials. Not factoring the hazardous waste transport into solar's carbon footprint is an obvious oversight, analysts said."-------------"Oversight my fanny. There is a political agenda here."----------------"I don't think they calculate any of that for the other forms of energy, either. Carbon to mine coal or uranium, carbon used to smelt the copper to make wiring to make generators, carbon to make the steel for wind turbine towers. So why "a political agenda"? It's entirely consistent, not anywhere close to a double-standard. I'd love to see the full-cycle analysis for each type of energy production, but I seriously doubt it's going to change the fact that solar has much lower carbon emissions than coal power. But hey, if it does change, it does. No need to get wed to a particular view." - windchasers--------------------------------------------------

Am I a bad person because I don't give a rat's ass about any of that kind of stuff? Seriously, none of that sort of stuff crosses my mind unless I read it here and then I forget about it as soon as I click "next."

Today I went to Aldi's and the GFS store and bought some awesome groceries. I can't wait to start cooking some of it and making some delicious concoctions.

I had a large 15 lb bag of two whole Boston Butts in vacuum pack bags and today I deboned them and took the gristly fatty part and ground it up and made some awesome ground pork. I made a pork burger patty out if and it was delicious. Seriously good.

These are the kinds of things I think about. What's on TV, what's on sale food wise, what am I going to cook and eat for dinner, what am I reading, ...

I honestly don't think about the environment or politics at all. I figure they are completely out of my control. Why worry about stuff you have no control over?
